The web is all about sharing. People share information, images, videos every day. We built Kuula, because we felt there wasn’t a good place to share 360° photos on the web and sharing has been the central feature of Kuula ever since.

You can share a post from Kuula on any social network that allows posting a link – which is pretty all of them. Just go to the individual post page on Kuula and copy the link to the post from the browser address bar. Once the link is copied to your clipboard paste it on you favorite social network, messenger app or send it via email or text message on you phone.

On top of that, there’s a sharing menu located on the top of the right-hand side panel if you are on desktop or in the panel at the bottom of the screen, if you are on mobile. It has several built-in sharing function available.

Twitter

When you share you 360° photo on your Twitter timeline, it will actually appear inline and your followers can interact with the picture directly on their feeds.

Facebook

Facebook has recently started supporting 360° photos on the timeline, which is pretty awesome! At Kuula we immediately added support for this feature – now you can share your 360 photo from Kuula to your Facebook timeline in on click (ok, maybe two 🙂 Take a look at the video below to see how it works:

Medium

You can easily embed 360 photos on Medium thanks to our integration with embedly. To learn more and see some examples look here.

Embedding

If you run a blog or write articles for an online magazine and you would like to include some 360°s in it, the best option is to embed the image. This works pretty much the same way as embedding YouTube videos.

If you click on the embed button in the sharing menu options – the one with the </> symbol. You’ll get a box with some code. Just copy this code and paste it into the HTML on your page. Depending on your page layout you might want to change the width and height settings in the code.

Howdy
I’m using a Chromebrowser on a Chromebook and on a PC. In this case the embedet images don’t work. The only thing to see – a black space with the kuula logo in the down right corner.
With the new MS Edge browser everything works fine. Firefox I didn’t try.
Can you please look into the problem? Chrome browser is very popular in Germany and Europe …

@Thomas
I don’t know why but changing the value of the height- and width-attribute to
width=”45%” height=”45%”
worked for me.
Just give it a try 😉

Are there restrictions if I want to share a picture in a blog/page belonging to a commercial brand?
Is credit necessary?
Thanks!

It’s always great to give credit, but if you embed the photo on your page, the user name will be included, so I guess this is ok. Did you have a particular photo in mind?

Shared images not showing inline in twitter. Only link. Yet if someone RTs it shows up fine in theirs. (And they get all the likes) piff. Prob a twitter thing as shares from YouTube same problem. But can’t get answer from twitter. So any ideas.

Hi, been trying to make embedding work on mobile devices as well.http://www.bongwaterfilms.com/vr360 – there’s an embedded Kuula image that just shows up as a blank box on a mobile screen. Was considering upgrading the subscription, but it’ll be pointless if the embeds aren’t viewable on mobile screens.

Hi Seth! We had an issue with our player on iOS but it should be fixed now. Please let us know if this has improved on your side.

If I bought the pro version and put my posts as unlisted and after a while I went back to basic would my posts remain unlisted or not?

kuulateam commented on February 13th, 2018

Right now, if you cancel your PRO account, the Unlisted photos will remain Unlisted, but you will not be able to upload new unlisted photos.
